What about athletes: 11 case control studies: range from 5 years lower to 8 years higher than nonathletes, aerobic endurance sports, 4. 3 to 8. 0 years longer, team sports, 5 years shorter to 5 years longer, strength sports: Take note: vigorous pa > moderate activity, greater life expectancy = gain of disability-free years, not increased years being frail.
